Artificial Turf Latex Coating Machine

An artificial turf latex coating machine is a specialized industrial system designed to apply adhesive (typically latex or polyurethane) to the back of synthetic grass to secure the fibers (yarns) to the primary backing. This process enhances durability, prevents fiber shedding, and ensures long-term stability.

1. Main Components  

- Unwinding Unit: Feeds pre-tufted or woven artificial turf into the coating line.  

- Adhesive Dispensing System:  

- Latex (SBR) or Polyurethane (PU) Applicator: Spreads liquid adhesive evenly using a knife-over-roll, spray, or curtain coating method.  

- Precision Control: Adjusts coating thickness (typically 0.5–2 mm) for optimal fiber bonding.  

- Drying/Curing Oven: Heats the turf (at 120–180°C) to solidify the adhesive, ensuring strong adhesion.  

- Secondary Backing Lamination (Optional): Adds a reinforcing layer (woven fabric, foam, or mesh) for extra strength and dimensional stability.  

- Cooling & Compression Rolls: Flattens the turf and ensures uniform adhesion.  

- Winding Unit: Rolls the finished product for storage or further processing.

2. Key Features

Uniform Coating – Ensures full coverage without clogging grass tufts.  

Fast Curing – High-efficiency drying reduces production time.  

Eco-Friendly Options – Some machines support water-based latex for reduced VOC emissions.  

Automated Control – PLC systems monitor temperature, speed, and adhesive quantity.

3. Applications

- Sports Turf (soccer fields, tennis courts).  

- Landscaping Turf (gardens, rooftops).  

- Decorative & Commercial Turf (indoor installations, exhibition halls).  

This machine is critical for producing high-quality, long-lasting artificial turf with strong fiber fixation and weather resistance.
